The object of the invention is to .provide a simply constructed straightfront tilting bin,

mounted, on rocker bearings to permit the bin' to' be tilted forward.and moved on the bearing at the salme time, thus providing for the-extension'of thelarger halfo-f the bin outside of the casing to'preventits swinging back of` The accompanying, drawing representa-avertical section through a wall case showingv two of these 1mprove'dbins'mounted therein,

` one .being inA open and -the "other in closed v and size of straightfront bins.

is divided into a plurality of vertically spaced v'of said glass Afrontand spaced therefrom to l position.

In' the Aembodiment illustrated, a wall casing, 1, is shown of asuitable height, depth and length to contain the desiredv number Thiscasing compartments by means ofjtransversely arranged partitions, 2,provided near their front edges-.on the lower'faces thereof, with aprojection 3, for a purposeto bedes'cribed.

Mounted in each'l compartmentjatopposite" sides thereof nearl the frontof the casing', are two bearing members, as 4,' having convexed `u erfaces termina n at their-front ends;

vA bin 6, 1s arranged in each of the compartv'ments ofthe casing and.'each has a straight front wall provided with a glassdisplay front' 7,having a false back 8, arranged at the back .hold the articles to bedisplayed in position'.'

The rear wall 9 of each bm extends slightly "1 above the side walls.thereof, which latter 'arey preferablycurved downwardly at their rearends, in position to engage the projection. 3

n f6, are bearing imembers, as 10, which extend from the front abouttwo-thirds of the width of thebin with their .lfevfaees curved upwardlyo r concavaed andm'minatmg at their.

inner'endsinhooks," as 11, ada ted to ride on the convexedupper faces oft e members 4 with the hooks or lu s 5, thereof to forml `limiting sto sfor the in to prevent its tilttoo far. These bearing members, as 10,arepreferably made in the form of a rocker 'and the hooked ends 11thereof,

have their faces curved' to fit thecurvature of the members 4 to permittheir ready sliding thereon on the opening and closing of the bin.lHandles 12 are provided at the upper ends of the bins for opening andclosing them. I claim as my inventiom- The combination with an inclosingcasing having a bearing memberarranged "on the bottom thereof, saidmember having a convex upper face terminating at its. front end in anupstanding. lug, the surface of th'e upper end of said lug being convex,of a" straight front bin having a bearing member at the lower endthereof provid'edw\fith a concave vlower face terminating at lts rear'end in a hook-sha ed member' adapted for engagement with t e lug of thecasing car-v ried member, said hook member having a concave surface atits end, said lug and hook being of the same height to provide for thesmooth riding of the bin carried member on the casing carried member. 2.The combination with an inclosing cashaving bearing members Aat oppositesi es thereof, said members having convexed upper faces terminating attheir front .ends in upstanding lugs, of. a straight front vbin havingbearin members at opposite-sides near the lower en thereof provided withconcave lower faces and terminating at theirrear 'ends in hookmembers-for engagementwith lthe lugs ofthe casing carried bearmgmembers, said Abin having means vat the up er edge vof 'ts rear wall orengagement wit a sto at .the front edge of the casing.
